I'm sorry if I broke the thread, I'm not on the mailinglist. Having said that I noticed the following on the list :

Actually, I got my X working because I read the mail mentioned above, which suggested it could have to do with unix/:7100 being a fontpath element in my XF86Config-4. So I removed the line and X worked ! :) I'm running kernel 2.4.0-test8 and the first X4 packages that got into woody. Besided that being fixed now, I experienced random crashes of my X with my old configfile (that's why I wanted to try a new one). However, that configfile was rather dirty, so I hope the problem is fixed now with this fresh one :) Greetz, Jelmer Feenstra
